Chapter 1001: Chapter 45: Where in the World Is the Path to Immortality? (7)

Not long after, Mr. Blind and Song Da, along with Song San, were led by Miss Gong to a tea house located by the mountains and water on the outskirts of the town.

Due to the deep winter season and the proximity to New Year’s Eve, the tea house was quite deserted… Of course, it might also be because it was booked for a private event.

On the road, Song Da and Song San chatted casually with the Blind Man. According to the Blind Man, he had never met this Lai Caisheng, but he did know that his senior indeed had such a disciple, who was the orthodox successor of this generation’s Clothed Daoist.

As for the rules of the Clothed Daoist, over the years, the three Song brothers had already gleaned some information from the Blind Man’s hints… It seems that not necessarily the most outstanding disciples have the qualification to bee the orthodox successor. The Blind Man’s skills seem to surpass that of his senior, the last generation’s Clothed Daoist successor.

However, given that it’s a geomancy sect, they don’t seem to particularly value bat prowess… As for why the Blind Man stayed away from Hua Country and resided overseas continuously, neither Song Da, the others, nor Old Master Song ever knew.

However, Song Da and Song San thought that the Blind Man’s return this time seemed to be due to his senior’s call… In that case, the relationship between the two previous successors of the Clothed Daoist seems okay?

With many questions in mind, Song Da and Song San were stunned to discover that they were arranged in another private room within the tea house and couldn’t participate in the meeting between the Blind Man and Lai Caisheng.

“Daoist Master Qingxiazi said, you two are followers, just wait here,” Miss Gong said flatly, blocking the protests on the verge of Song Da and Song San’s lips.

Damn it! This blind man really treats us brothers like errand boys!

Ignoring Song Da and Song San’s frustration in the private room, Mr. Blind, under the guidance of Miss Gong, finally met the prematurely white-haired Lai Caisheng in a pavilion within the tea house.

The tea house was built on the edge of a pond, and this pavilion was spread in the center of the pond. Seemingly because there was a light snow not long ago, a faint white frost could be seen on the trees in the distance.

Lai Caisheng was brewing tea at the moment, his actions delicate.

Mr. Blind himself also had prematurely white hair, which hadn’t recovered all these years. So when he ‘saw’ Lai Caisheng, he knew what Lai Caisheng had gone through.

A single night for ninety-nine lifetimes, the joys and sorrows, turned his hair white… It’s a highly special magic technique within the Clothed Daoist, not really making one go through ninety-nine lifetimes in one night, but the more past lives one experiences, the greater the achievement.

“Uncle Master, please sit,” Lai Caisheng said, looking up and smiling slightly.

Mr. Blind frowned, lifted the hem of his clothes, and slowly sat down, suddenly asking, “The ninety-nine lifetimes, have you gone through them all?”

Lai Caisheng didn’t seem surprised by the question, answered calmly, “I’m missing one lifetime.”

Mr. Blind nodded and sighed, saying casually, “You are better than me.”

Lai Caisheng was missing one lifetime, but Mr. Blind himself was missing three… After ninety lifetimes, each additional lifetime sees a geometric increase in difficulty. They were only two lifetimes apart, but the potential difference was hard to quantify.

Today, he could easily discern some of Lai Caisheng’s reality and illusion, merely due to the vast time experience the other had accumulated.

“My master once said that Uncle Master is the most outstanding talent in our Clothed Daoist in the past three hundred years,” Lai Caisheng elegantly poured a cup of freshly brewed hot tea for Mr. Blind.

Mr. Blind, however, left it untouched and directly asked, “Why didn’t your master meet me himself this time, instead letting you e on his behalf?”

Lai Caisheng replied earnestly, “Uncle Master, you may not know, but I currently do not know my master’s whereabouts either. Just a few days ago, I was inspired by a whim, divined, and realized that a person deeply connected to our sect would appear soon. After careful contemplation, the only person deeply connected to our sect in this world might be you, Uncle Master.”

“My senior is missing?” Mr. Blind frowned, “What’s going on? He left a message for me on Mountain Wudang, and I deduced it was near Mount Tai.”

Lai Caisheng raised his eyebrows, “What kind of message did Master leave for Uncle Master?”

Mr. Blind replied calmly, “He only said there was an urgent matter he wanted to discuss with me, but he didn’t specify what it was. As you know, the members of the Clothed Daoist like to guess… We are good at many things, except for this. We see people but not their hearts, relying only on calculation. Yet, that neglects the possibility that people can be limited and the heavens can be uncertain… Human calculation ultimately cannot surpass divine calculation.”

“I am enlightened,” Lai Caisheng said, sincerely accepting the guidance, offering a bow to Mr. Blind.

Mr. Blind suddenly looked at the sky outside by the edge of the pond, opening his cloudy eyes, “There is a monstrous aura here, mana fluctuations are mixed and hard to decipher… Has something happened at this Penglai Conference?”

Though Mr. Blind had resided overseas for many years, being a person who originated from China, he was naturally familiar with the great event of the two worlds that occurs once every ten years; even in his youth, he had attended multiple Penglai Conferences with his master, thus Penglai Conference was not unfamiliar to him.

Lai Caisheng then briefly recounted the appearance of the White Jade Decree, the contention among everyone, and eventually how the Godly Land’s true dragon united with Xuanyuan Palace and the Management Bureau to intervene.

Lai Caisheng sighed, “If it weren’t for the true dragon intervening this time, the Daoist Association might not have been able to suppress it… Even some within the Daoist Association took this Decree very seriously.”

“Such a precious treasure naturally disturbs people’s minds.” Mr. Blind said blandly, “They are still only human, not yet immortal.”

“Precisely because they are not yet immortal, they seize that sliver of opportunity.” Lai Caisheng said softly, “Cultivating Dao for a hundred years just to seek immortality… Initially, everyone chose this path full of hope.”

Mr. Blind shook his head, not speaking; after a long silence, Lai Caisheng wanted to change the already cold tea, but Mr. Blind said there was no need, drinking the cooled tea on his own.

He said indifferently, “It’s said when people leave the tea cools, it suits me who left early to drink this cool tea.”

Lai Caisheng smiled slightly, did not pour away his cold tea either, and drank it with Mr. Blind. He continued, “Uncle Master, living abroad for long, since ing back now cannot know Master’s whereabouts immediately, why not stay at Wolong Mountain Villa for a few days with me?”

Mr. Blind pondered silently.

Lai Caisheng then smiled again, “Our Clothed Daoist has its own dedicated courtyard every time at Wolong Mountain Villa, Uncle Master stayed there too back in the day, why not revisit an old haunt? Besides, I have many matters I hope to heed your guidance on.”

Mr. Blind shook his head, “I can’t teach you, maybe my senior can’t either. Since you have officially bee the contemporary successor, it means you are now the most orthodox head of the Clothed Daoist… Since the head’s invitation is sincere, then Qingxia Zi will accept.”

“Uncle Master, please don’t be like this.” Lai Caisheng said quickly.

Mr. Blind mented, “Strictly speaking, I am merely an abandoned disciple.”

Not long after, Mr. Blind left the pavilion in the pond, while Miss Gong came to Lai Caisheng’s side.

Miss Gong frowned slightly, “I heard the last generation’s Clothed Daoist successor should have been Qingxia Zi, why did it end up with Qingxia Zi being the abandoned disciple?”

Lai Caisheng slowly brewed tea and said slowly, “Some people think this identity is a cage, a fate that cannot be broken. Some people think it’s an honor, something to seek but can’t obtain.”

“What about you? What do you think it is?” Miss Gong looked at Lai Caisheng and asked.

“Me?” He smiled and said, “I think it’s nothing… I just want to find out what was missing in that past life.”

Miss Gong was silent for a moment before saying, “After all, Qingxia Zi is also a disciple of the Clothed Daoist. This time, your master brought him back from afar, surely not just for a simple meeting and chat. You say…”

Lai Caisheng suddenly stopped, then dipped his finger in some tea and began drawing something on the stone table.

Miss Gong glanced over and saw that the trace of tea looked like the word ‘death’.

At this moment, Lai Caisheng was deep in thought and silent, seemingly wanting to continue writing, but his finger hesitated and eventually, he just erased the word ‘death’.

“The secrets of heaven remain as chaotic as ever.” Lai Caisheng sighed, then stood up, gazing at the tranquil, ripple-free winter pond, without speaking for a long time.

Miss Gong knew Lai Caisheng was an inspired person, his intuition more like a sense of the future, so she didn’t dare to disturb his contemplation at this moment.

After a long while, Lai Caisheng shook his head and said, “Forget it, when the boat reaches the pier… You probably have something else, right?”

Miss Gong nodded, “Just received news that a few heirs of the Four Great Demon Clans went missing over at Kun Peng Mountain Villa.”

“They’re all from the Four Clans?” Lai Caisheng turned around, appearing somewhat surprised.

Miss Gong said at this moment, “One from the Azure Dragon Clan, one from the White Tiger Clan, two from the Vermilion Bird Clan, and one from the Black Tortoise Clan.”

Lai Caisheng pondered, “What do you make of it?”

Miss Gong replied, “Whether it’s in the Taoism-cultivated field or the demon world, many have been dispatched in secret this time to fight over the Imperial Edict. Although there’s been peace between the Taoism-cultivated field and the demon world due to agreements for a long time, secretly, there’s still constant friction. It’s possible these missing demons were caught by people from the Taoism-cultivated field while out and about.”

Lai Caisheng shook his head and said, “That’s not it.”

Miss Gong was taken aback, then furrowed her brows again. But she quickly had a thought, “You mean no matter why these demons are missing, the situation will develop into a direct problem between the Taoism-cultivated field and the demon world?”

Lai Caisheng sighed lightly, “We have divided good and evil, monsters and demons too clearly.”

He then smiled wryly and added, “Send me back to Wolong Mountain Villa once, the two old men above me are probably getting restless by now.”

Miss Gong nodded directly.

In Zhang Qingrui’s impression, Luo Qiu didn’t seem like such a robust person—not in terms of physique, but in terms of his ability to withstand the cold.

Zhang Qingrui remembered that before the first winter vacation of their freshman year, Luo Qiu had caught a cold once; he came to class wearing a thick coat. At that time, it was Professor Qin’s class, and he probably took cold medicine, so he slept for more than an hour, which led to him being assigned extra writing as punishment by Professor Qin.

At that time… he should have just been an ordinary person, right?

Zhang Qingrui grew increasingly curious about what had happened to Luo Qiu that made him extraordinary… Or maybe the email she received written for her future self was just a joke, an illusion.

Song Haoran from the Song Family said he wanted to go out and explore, seeking out local legends—the child of the Dragon God.

Zhang Qingrui understood this kind of exploration as the two young members of the Song Family’s curiosity and exploration of their homeland… Children who grew up abroad probably have a unique curiosity about the mountains and rivers of their native land.

And Hua Country has always had a lot of mysticism, often misinterpreted abroad.

Zhang Qingrui originally hadn’t planned on going on a trip, but seeing that Luo Qiu seemed willing to go, she inexplicably agreed—she had some plex feelings about Luo Qiu.

Although there was a tacit understanding between them as classmates, after receiving that email, Zhang Qingrui started paying more attention to Luo Qiu.

During these two days of interaction, Luo Qiu seemed to be the same classmate Luo Qiu, yet he seemed to be someone else entirely.

“What are you thinking about? Zhang Family’s little sister.” Song Haoran suddenly appeared behind Zhang Qingrui, poking his head around to ask.

Zhang Qingrui, a posed person, gave a slight smile and said, “I was thinking, if this exploration really finds the child of the Dragon God, what should we do?”

Song Haoran blinked and said, “Little sister of the Zhang Family, I didn’t expect you to believe in these mystical things too?”

Zhang Qingrui replied, “Perhaps it’s because some of the family business is also related to mystical things. Actually, many things in history are inexplicable. Aren’t there many legends circulating in various places too?”

“Legends…” Song Ying interjected, “Aren’t legends just fabricated hypotheses? All legends originate from fantasy and worship, then later generations add their embellishments.”

Zhang Qingrui didn’t seem to have any intention of arguing with Song Ying; she just gave a light smile, “So, it’s interesting to verify these legends one by one. I think this was originally a very interesting thing to do.”

“Your idea is not bad,” Song Haoran laughed heartily at this moment and said, “Are you interested in going on adventures with me in the future?”

Zhang Qingrui smiled but said nothing… The negotiation between her and her grandmother hadn’t really resulted in an oute yet; whether she would be a bird in a cage or a free bird in the future was still uncertain. How could she easily dream of such adventurous things?

The wind in the mountain ravine suddenly picked up, causing Zhang Qingrui to shiver a bit, as she realized she was underdressed.

“Put it on.”

Behind her, Luo Qiu took off his coat and gently placed it over Zhang Qingrui.
